Greetings All,

I've seen several messages regarding this issue in the mailing lists
archives, but no solutions were posted. Is there anyone out there who
has been able to install SuSE 7.3 on an E450?

On the main console during the install, the process is hung after
'Searching for infofile'. On console 3, there is a message indicating
that a SuSE CD could not be found and that the installer would try to
open another storage device:

Main Console:
=================
--snip--
Starting hardware detection...
Searching for infofile......

Console 3:
=================
--snip--
auto2_init:622 Beginning hardware probing...
auto2_init:629 Hardware probing finished.
auto2_init:632 There seems to be no floppy disk.
auto2_init:709 valid_net_config_ig = 0
auto2_find_install_medium:757 Looking for a SuSE CD...
auto2_find_install_medium:768 Ok, that didn't work; see if we can
activate another storate device...
Executing: "insmod sym53c8xx"
Using /modules/sym53c8xx.o

Console 4:
=================
Many SCSI reset errors are being printed here.
